Following are the beautiful lyrics (Hindi), written by Prasoon Joshi:

मैं कभी, बतलाता नहीं,
पर अँधेरे से डरता हूँ मैं, माँ।
यूं तो मैं, दिखलाता नही,
तेरी परवाह करता हूँ मैं, माँ।
तुझे सब हें पता.. हें ना माँ?
तुझे सब हें पता... मेरी माँ।

भीड़ में यूं न छोडो मुझे,
घर लौट के भी आ ना पाऊँ माँ।
भेज ना इतना दूर मुझको तू
याद भी तुझको आ ना पाऊँ माँ।
क्या इतना बूरा हूँ मैं माँ?
क्या इतना बूरा... मेरी माँ।

जब भी कभी... पापा मुझे...
जो ज़ोर से... झूला झुलाते हें, माँ...
मेरी नज़र... ढूँढे तुझे...
सोचु यही... तू आके थामेगी, माँ।
उनसे मैं, ये कहता नही...
पर मैं... सहम जाता हूँ, माँ।
चेहरे पे... आने देता नहीं
दिल ही दिल में... घबराता हूँ माँ।
तुझे सब हें पता.. हें ना माँ?
तुझे सब हें पता... मेरी माँ।

मैं कभी, बतलाता नहीं,
पर अँधेरे से डरता हूँ मैं, माँ।
यूं तो मैं, दिखलाता नही,
तेरी परवाह करता हूँ मैं, माँ।
तुझे सब हें पता.. हें ना माँ?
तुझे सब हें पता... मेरी माँ।

Here is a translation of the lyrics (I understand that this translation may not be able to bring out the beauty of the song, as the original lyrics; please let me know if there is a more appropriate translation):

I never, do tell you,
But I am frightened by the darkness, mother
Usually I, don't show,
But I do care about you, mother
You know it all, isn't it mother?
You know it all, my mother.

Don't leave me like this in the crowd
Such that I am not able to come back to the home.
Don't send me so far
Such that you don't remember about me at all.
Am I that bad, mother?
That bad... my mother?

Whenever... father...
Quickly... swing me, mother...
My eyes... seek for you...
I do think this... you will come to hold me, mother...
I don't... tell him this...
But I do... get scared, mother
On the face... I don't let this come
In the heart... I get frightened, mother
You know it all, isn't it mother?
You know it all, my mother.

I never, do tell you,
But I am frightened by the darkness, mother
Usually I, don't show,
But I do care about you, mother
You know it all, isn't it mother?
You know it all, my mother.
